I follow the same practice as Sharon. In my room rules, I state that I
follow the rules of the classroom teacher. When students are
unaccompanied, the only rules I have are: no popcorn or sunflower
seeds; no more than four to a table.

Subject: Re: [LM_NET] VENT: "There is no talking in the library"
Each teacher has a different teaching style. When a teacher comes to
our library they bring their style with them, and we respect that. When
a class is in the library, it is the teacher's rules that they follow.
Some of our teachers want total silence - that is fine. Other teachers
allow talking. I prefer to allow the teachers to set their rules for
the library. Students know that they can talk when they come to the
library on a pass, without a teacher. I think you should respect the
teacher's style. Silence is sometimes appropriate in the library - and
sometimes talking is appropriate. Teaching students to recognize what
is appropriate, and adapting to that, is what is more important.
